Apple iOS apps

iOS – programs for Apple mobile devices

WhatsApp Some Apps have become indispensable and WhatsApp is one of them, far exceeding the capabilities of SMS and used by more than 1 billion people every day apparently, but it’s only recently that I discovered that you can send someone your location. It’s very simple really and here’s how to do it. Open a […]

I’m a photography buff and while I don’t take a ton of pictures on my phone, (mostly because my HTC One M9 has a mediocre camera), I can certainly appreciate a camera phone’s use when you’re in a pinch and without a real camera. The good news, though, is that there are a multitude of camera […]

There’s a ton of hype today about the new Yahoo Messenger app. Remember Yahoo Messenger? There’s a chance it was popular and then nonexistent before you were even born. I personally remember wondering if Y2K would affect Yahoo Messenger (then known as Yahoo Chat). Here though, I’m writing to discuss the most interesting and controversial […]

I get a lot of email. More than I would like to but it all serves a purpose. When I look at my email on my iPhone or iPad, I don’t want to see my ‘old’ email that I’ve already read, just my unread email. So I added an ‘Unread’ folder to my Mail application. […]

I’m a list maker. I may not be a mover or a shaker but, Dang it, I always have things to do and I like making To-Do lists (I may not even complete all those tasks, but that’s another story!). While I don’t mind using Tasks in my Outlook program for regular To-Dos, or Out […]

The Apple community has long bragged about how it is seemingly immune to hackers. Not so anymore. Hundreds of apps are plagued with a serious security flaw. The hackers duped Chinese developers into using a counterfeit version of Xcode, Apple’s official development tool. WeChat, a messaging and calling app with 600 million users, was one […]

If you have kids you know you do not want them vegging out just playing mind numbing games, why not look for an app that teaches them something at the same time? This is the thinking that led me to this article. I have 3 boys ranging from 2 to 11 so trying to keep […]

Nine Great Reasons There are many reasons for using an app like Flipboard, nine great ones are: It’s Free, you can’t beat the price. It’s Fast, Flipboard gets its name from the way the page flips. Very similar to turning a page in a book and just as fast. The data appears as soon as […]

Dropbox offers a cloud repository for your files. Its basic subscription is free. I use it sparingly, but I always recommend it to people who need this kind of service. Still, I like to make folks aware of my pros and cons with it. Pros: It’s free. A free account gets you 2 GB of space. […]

Sometimes, in this wango fango world of technology and viruses, and fails and computer snafus – things just work and work well. TypeMail is one of those things. I have more than one email account, as I think you should too – for personal, business, shopping categories, etc. What TypeMail does best is put all […]

So, I was happily browsing away this morning, as is my usual crack-of-dawn practice, and came across a web page that I wanted to bookmark, opened up the Bookmarks menu in Firefox and noticed this: I’m not the most observant of people so this item may have been sitting there in Firefox’s Bookmarks menu for […]

You’re getting warm, warmer, you’re getting hot, you are sweating … BINGO there it is! I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. There have been times when I have set it down for it’s own protection and later when I remembered about it, the phone is missing. Usually it is another family member who thinks […]
